quoting beauty

6 Mar

Again, for test pur­poses:
“For a start, I think, we must stop treat­ing beauty as a thing or a qual­ity, and see it instead as a kind of com­mu­ni­ca­tion: Beauty is an unsta­ble prop­erty because it is not a prop­erty at all. It is the name of a par­tic­u­lar inter­ac­tion between two beings, a self and an Other; I find an Other beau­ti­ful. This act of dis­cov­ery, we shall see, has pro­found impli­ca­tions”. –Wendy Stiener, Venus in Exile
